MANSFIELD, Ohio — Police in Mansfield are asking for the public's help identifying a woman who fired a gun in the air during an altercation on Sunday.

It happened just before 3:30 p.m. in the 300 block of Bulkley Avenue, police said.

Video footage captured by a witness at the scene shows the woman standing in a small crowd of people. You can hear some individuals exclaim, "She got a gun," right before the woman fires it in the air.
